Awarded Best of Zola
As a mixed-faith couple seeking an egalitarian Jewish wedding ceremony, we were initially drawn to Rabbi Noyo for her remarkable flexibility and inclusiveness. We really couldn't have been happier with our choice! From the start, Rabbi Noyo made a great effort to get to know us, taking the time to understand our backgrounds, values, and desires for the ceremony. She dedicated an impressive amount of time guiding us through pre-marriage activities (e.g. "life topics" for us to discuss) and detailing the array of possible traditions we might consider integrating into the ceremony -- including both their traditional and more modern/egalitarian variants. It was truly a learning experience working with her! As an officiant, Rabbi Noyo struck a great balance between making the ceremony personable yet traditional, religious yet inclusive. Overall, she was really fabulous to work with, and we couldn't recommend her more highly!

It was a blessing to have Hannah Grace marry us. She brought a beautiful, centered, and calm presence and a deep caring for how our ceremony set a template for unifying our lives together. This was especially touching as our marriage came a year after the death of a child! That adult was beautifully heralded in our ceremony.

From the moment my wife and I first connected with Tara, we knew we had found our perfect officiant. Her warm, kind, and genuinely positive energy instantly made us feel comfortable, as if we were talking to an old friend. As an out-of-town couple, we were so grateful for her support and knowledge of the Salem area. She not only crafted a ceremony that was deeply personal and beautifully written but also helped us with photographer recommendations, and also helped us with particulars related to the venue and the marriage license application. Everything went smoothly because of Tara's knowledge, dedication, and professionalism. She is truly committed to her work. Furthermore, Tara has an incredible gift for listening and truly understanding what a couple wants. She wove our story and vows into a ceremony that felt authentic and meaningful to us.

Christine was wonderful to work with. From the first call we had you could tell this is a passion for her. Between our zoom calls and emails she was easy to get ahold of and was happy to answer any questions we had. To ensure we had a ceremony that was true to who we are as a couple, she shared an example of a ceremony script she’d just done and then asked us to provide her with our love story and what we like about each other. From there she took this information and wove it into a beautiful ceremony that was personalized, paid tribute to our moms, had a little humor in it and most importantly felt natural. We were able to collaborate after she put together the first draft for any changes. On the day of she arrived early making sure everything was all set and the ceremony would go off without a hitch. I would highly recommend using Christine if you’re looking for a professional JP who really cares about what she does.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we were planning our wedding we originally thought of just asking a friend to marry us. But after learning more about what a good officiant can offer we were incredibly happy to have changed plans and gone with Miriam! Miriam perfectly balanced being both professional and also getting to know us as a couple and individuals. She was very friendly and always a joy to talk to in our calls. The ceremony itself was not something we had given a ton of thought to, and weren’t sure exactly what we wanted outside of having a few concepts (short, secular, not too serious). Miriam was able to offer us advice, recommendations, and guidance throughout the process as we created our ceremony. From sending us examples of readings that fit our vibe, to explaining different unity ceremony ideas and helping us come up with one that fit us, Miriam made what could have been a stressful planning experience into a breeze. Miriam separately reviewed both our private and public vows, gave us feedback to make sure both our tones were the same, and took care of dropping off the paperwork to make the marriage official. We knew we picked the right person when our friends asked us afterwards how long we had to look to find an officiant with the same sense of humor as us. We would absolutely recommend Miriam to anyone asking!

Chelsea absolutely CRUSHED IT!! So many people came up to us and told us how professional and poised she was and how they loved the ceremony. Chelsea is an excellent officiant and an even better person. I was in a panic 2.5 weeks before the wedding when two different plans for officiants fell through. The Marrying Jane was on the recommended vendors list at The Red Barn at Outlook Farm; and when I reached out to ask if they could help, Chelsea responded that night and turned everything around. Chelsea wrote a custom ceremony, helped us with all the paperwork, and truly saved the day! I am endlessly grateful and can only hope that other couples find her at the beginning of their wedding planning journeys!

Matt did the most amazing job with our wedding ceremony. It was fun, engaging, and heartfelt—which was exactly what we wanted—and it set the tone for the rest of our day perfectly. The process with Matt was professional and organized, while also being incredibly enjoyable. He met with us well in advance to talk about what we wanted and got to know us as a couple. He then showed us a draft and did a great job of incorporating the small amount of feedback we had. It’s been several years since our wedding, yet family and friends still regularly (and unprompted) bring up our ceremony, saying that it was one of the best they’ve ever been to. Matt was the first person we hired for our wedding, and was definitely one of the best decisions we made. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable day that feels personal and unique to you.
